VOA常速英语:Trump Gaining as Presidential Polls Grow Tighter(翻译)

Republican Donald Trump discussed foreign policy in Virginia but could not resist highlighting the good news in the latest poll.
共和党人唐纳德·特朗普在弗吉尼亚就外交政策进行了商讨，还忍不住突出强调了最近一次民调中的好消息。

“cnn came out with a big poll. Their big poll came out today that Trump is winning.It’s good psychology. I know that for a fact because people that didn’t call me yesterday, they are calling me today. So that’s the way life works, right?” said Trump.
“cnn发起了一次大型民意调查，今天调查结果出来了，特朗普胜利了。我心态还是挺好的吧，之所以知道自己获得了胜利，是因为昨天没有叫我的那些人，今天都在叫我的名字。生活就是这样啊，对不对？”特朗普如是说道。

Democrat Hillary Clinton still leads in most national polls and in most of the key battleground states where both campaigns will focus over these final two months.
民主党人希拉里·克林顿在全国多数民意调查和多数关键州中依然处于领先地位，双方竞选团队在最后的两个月也将聚焦在这些地方。

Clinton went after Trump during a rally in Florida.
特朗普参加了佛罗里达的一次集会，而克林顿也紧随其后。

“And he demeans Muslims and attacks a Gold Star family whose son died in action in Iraq. That’s not who we are.So yes, we have a lot of plans, but we also have values, my friends,and we are going to stand up for American values!” said Clinton.
“他贬低穆斯林，攻击儿子在伊拉克执行任务时遇害的一个金星家庭。这不是我们的风格啊。没错，我们制定了许多计划，可我们也有我们的价值观啊朋友们，所以我们必须得坚决捍卫美国的价值观！”克林顿如是说道。

The race is tightening in part because Clinton’s weaknesses are in the spotlight, says expert Stephen Wayne.
选战日趋激烈，在某种程度上是因为克林顿的弱点已经成为了公众的焦点，斯蒂芬·怀内说道。

“There are a number of people who don’t think that she is honest and trustworthy. She seems to be a very authentic (traditional) politician in an anti-politician age,” said Wayne.
“许多人都觉得她不诚实不可靠，在一个反政治家的时代，她反倒好像是一个真正的（传统的）政治家。”怀内说道。

But Trump also suffers from high disapproval ratings, says Gallup pollster Frank Newport.
不过人们对特朗普的失望程度也很高，盖洛普民意测验专家弗兰克·纽伯德说道。

“It’s troublesome for both people. I think the Hillary Clinton campaign thinks about it a lot, how can we change her image?But that is hard to do, you know. It is kind of baked-in at this point,” said Newport.
“双方战队现在都很困扰，我觉得希拉里·克林顿的竞选阵营已经再三思考过，我们怎么才能改变她的形象呢？不过你们也知道，这太困难了。此时此刻真是有点备受煎熬。”纽伯德如是说。

Clinton hopes to hold on to what was a big lead in the polls after the party conventions, helped in part by a number of Trump controversies, says analyst Jeremy Mayer.
克林顿希望政党大会之后，自己依然能在民调中保持领先，而在某种程度上，这得需要与特朗普的一系列辩论来助力，分析师杰米尔·迈尔表示。

“It is possible that Donald Trump will win this race.But in order to do so he will have to come back from a larger deficit than any presidential candidate in the modern era of polling. No one has come back as far as quickly as he now needs to do,” said Mayer.
“唐纳德·特朗普很可能会赢得这场竞赛。但是为了达到目的，在如今民调情况下，特朗普相比任何一位总统候选人都要弥补更大的财政赤字。他比任何人都需要尽快完成这个任务。”迈尔如是说。

Trump and Clinton are already preparing for the next major event in the race—the first presidential debate, set for September 26th.
特朗普和克林顿已经开始着手准备这场竞选中的下一个重大事件——9月26日的第一次总统大选辩论。
